Under Huo Chenyu's repeated questioning, Tang Li sent him her location.
Then I called my mother-in-law over.
Fortunately, Wei Chaoyu arrived first.
So when Huo Chenyu came, he asked her why she had gone so far alone?
Tang Li said that her mother-in-law and father-in-law had a few words of disagreement, so she wanted to find someone to have dinner with. She didn't expect her father-in-law to come out, and she happened to run into Uncle Sheng, so they just ate together.
Huo Chenyu truly believed it.
Looking at the large table of barely touched food, I was astonished:
Who ordered this?
Tang Li and Wei Chaoyu both pointed at Sheng Chaosheng and Huo Yishen.
They betrayed them faster than a rocket.
Huo Yishen coughed twice:
"The restaurant was having a promotion, offering a free meal with every two dishes ordered, and the same goes for desserts, so we couldn't control the flow for a while. But we older generations are all thrifty, so don't worry, we won't waste food."
After saying that, she pulled Sheng Chaosheng along with her:
"Old Sheng, aren't you right?"
Sheng Chaosheng gave his old buddy plenty of face and a sense of security, agreeing with him as he ate:
"We can finish it all, we can finish it all! We haven't even started eating yet! We've been waiting for you to come!"
Look.
When the two old men team up, they can lie without even blushing or panting.
However, being older, their appetites weren't as big as those of young people. After only a few bites, the two stopped, sighed, and shook their heads at each other, indicating that they really couldn't finish.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Huo Chenyu got her revenge, and kept putting food on Sheng Chaosheng's plate.
"Come, come, my dear father-in-law, have some more."
Tang Li kicked him under the table:
"Uncle Sheng is getting old, and overeating is bad for his stomach."
Huo Chenyu then gave up.
However, Sheng Chaosheng really couldn't eat anymore, so he started to seek outside help. He sent a message to his only adopted son, asking him to bring his girlfriend along and to hurry up. He also sent the address.
After posting, he started making underhanded moves with Huo Yishen, trying to get him to seek off-field support as well.
Huo Yishen glanced at Wei Chaoyu and secretly sent messages to Huo Yancheng and Huo Sitang, telling them to arrive as quickly as possible.
Sheng Chaosheng was anxious as he looked at the message. He took out his phone, pointed to the template he had sent to Lu Zhixing, and told Huo Yishen to remind the children to bring their partners.
Huo Yishen smiled knowingly.
How could he not know the situation of his own two children?
Huo Yancheng had many beautiful women around him, but unfortunately, his son was too proud to look at any of them.
Meanwhile, her own daughter is single-mindedly promoting female independence, and she has no suitors, not to mention that even her cat is female.
Expecting them to bring their partners to eat together is less desirable than just loosening your belt and eating a few more bites yourself.
Upon receiving the message from her father, Huo Sitang thought something terrible had happened and rushed over immediately. However, as soon as she entered the private room, Huo Yishen stood up to greet her and called the waiter to bring in more chairs and chopsticks.
He further tried to cover up the truth by saying:
“Daughter, what brings you here for dinner at this hour? What a coincidence! Since we’ve run into each other, sit down and have a meal with your older brother and sister-in-law. I know you’re a very busy person. As the saying goes, sharpening your axe before chopping wood is essential. You need to eat well to have the energy to work.”
Huo Sitang opened her mouth, as if to say something, but Huo Yishen stopped her with something.
"Eat without worry. You've gotten so thin every day. Food is essential for life. Hurry up, talk less and eat more."
Seeing Huo Yishen rambling on and on, Wei Chaoyu grabbed him and stopped him:
"You old man, why are you being so fussy today? Sit down and stop blocking Sitang from eating. Sitang, eat slowly, don't choke."
Huo Sitang almost choked.
Tang Li poured her a glass of water, and after drinking it, she recovered and her first words were:
"Dad, you called me here just to have a meal?"
There were quite a lot of people; it felt very formal.
However, the food on the table was a bit strange, as if it had been leftovers.
Huo Yishen is quite funny; he winks at Huo Sitang.
“You silly child, you’ve run into me, so what? What’s there to be embarrassed about? You even said I asked you to come. Why would I disturb your work at this hour?”
Huo Sitang could hardly believe it, but she kept quiet. Since she was already there, she might as well make the best of it. Having a meal was better than nothing.
When she had almost finished eating, Huo Yishen was still putting food on her plate. Huo Sitang patted her stomach.
"Dad, I really can't eat anymore."
Just as Huo Yishen was about to say that she was so thin that a gust of wind could blow her thousands of miles away, another innocent victim arrived. After loudly calling out "Dad!" at the door of the private room, he looked at the large table of people inside the room with surprise.
"Mom, Uncle Sheng, eldest brother, sister-in-law, sister, why are you all here?"
Huo Yancheng scratched his head and went inside. Huo Sitang probably knew what was going on, so she asked with a smile:
"Brother, you also happen to work here and we just happened to run into each other?"
Huo Yancheng was more astute than her; sensing the hidden meaning in his older sister's words, he readily agreed.
"Yes, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here."
After saying that, he sat down, picked up the chopsticks that Huo Sitang had used, took a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and complained as he ate:
"Luckily I ran into you, otherwise you guys would be living the high life while I, the poor soul, am stuck at work."
Tang Li couldn't hold back her laughter any longer. She leaned on Huo Chenyu's shoulder and covered her mouth. Huo Sitang brought him the leftovers and chimed in:
"That's right, that's right, let's not be such a fool, let's eat quickly."
Huo Yancheng extended a very sincere invitation to Huo Sitang:
